well i will toss in my self as a nano builder..
i will be using a 10g used tank and a 10g used tank for a sump. total volume of water will be closer to 15 gallons (u.s)
here is a picture of the two tanks. i can place the paper next to it if you all want to see the date with the tanks..

I am hoping to avoid powerheads as well but at least we are going different ways on lighting. I think it will be fun with similar set-ups

WooWoo, Tim!

Sounds like all good ideas. Can't wait to see your's going. I wish I'd bought stock in the "10 gallon Tank Co."
